Board Game TwixT To Return After 40 year Absence

Houston, TX – Lil’ Cerebral Games today announced that they will revive the once-popular board game TwixT in a limited quantity. The game was published in the United States as “TWIXT: The Ingenious New Strategy Game for Two!” board game in 1962 by the 3M Corporation, and later by Avalon Hill. TwixT went out of print in the United States by 1980, and was last published in Europe at the end of the 20th Century.

An “Abstract Strategy Game”, the main function of TwixT is to allow a player to build a barrier from one side of the board to the other, while the second player is performing the same task perpendicular on the board. A game could last 15 minutes or much longer based on the strategies each player invokes to ensure they are the person to build an uninterrupted barrier from one side to the other.

Inducted into the 25 board games in the Games Magazine Hall of Fame alongside familiar industry stalwarts such as “Monopoly”, “Sorry”, “Clue”, and “Yahtzee”, TwixT remained the only game out of circulation…. Until now.

“We are bringing back TwixT because it was such a part of many people’s childhood (mine included). It’s easier to learn than Chess, and harder than Checkers, but becoming a master of the game takes a lifetime”. –Wayne Dolezal, CEO, Lil’ Cerebral, LLC.

This is precisely why TwixT continues to garner a dedicated following, and is featured prominently at the annual International Mind Sports Olympiad tournament.

The game box contains:

• 4 tongue-in-groove boards assembled to create a 24x24 peg board playing field

• 90 Peg Posts (45 Red, 45 Blue)

• 90 Fence Connectors (45 Red, 45 Blue)

• Instructions
